Tritium extraction facility study - 1965

Description: This study was prepared in support of AEC-requested reactor case studies. Two of the cases include local separation and purification of tritium from Hanford irradiated aluminum-lithium alloyed slugs after 1974, at which time, the Savannah River Plant would be shut down. Consideration is given to processing N Reactor rods or {open_quotes}K{close_quotes} Reactor I&E slugs. Quantities of tritium to be produced would be five kilograms per year in one case and seven kilograms per year in the other c… more

Nuclear safety specifications for N-Reactor fuels for 2.4 w/o enriched uranium oxide fuel

Description: This specification covers the processing of a pilot lot of 2.4 w/o uranium oxide fuel in the N-Reactor Fuels facilities for the period from August 16, 1965, through March 1, 1966. A maximum of 180 fuel pieces will be processed. The fuel will be processed or stored in 306, 333, and 3,715 Buildings. Processing steps will include end closure welding, support and locking clip welding, final etching, autoclaving, final inspection, and assembly. Shipment to 100-N Area and from 325 Building are also c… more

Horizontal control rod renovation program all production reactors

Description: The purpose of this document is to outline the proposed implementation of engineering program results to remedy the major horizontal control rod (HCR) problems at Hanford production reactors. K and C Reactors currently use a water cooled, round, aluminum control rod packed with boron carbide powder, B and D Reactors use a water cooled, flat, aluminum rod made up of sintered boron carbide-aluminum rings strung on three cooling tubes, all of which is encased in an outer aluminum shell. The nature… more

Thermal Studies Hastelloy X Metallic Insulation

Description: Hastelloy X wire wool has been considered by the Architect Engineer for exterior thermal insulation of some pipe sections of the ATR* gas loop. Heart transfer studies were made simulating gas loop operating conditions. This report describes the apparatus used and the resultant data. The insulation (manufactured by a commercial supplier) is of interest because of its corrosion resistance, strength, and ability to withstand impact and abrasion. Also, it is not a source of chlorides. The insulatio… more
